Quote from Aldous Huxley:
The spiritual journey does not consist in arriving at a new destination where a person gains what he did not have, or becomes what he is not. It consists in the dissipation of one’s own ignorance concerning one’s self and life, and the gradual growth of that understanding which begins the spiritual awakening. The finding of God is a coming to one’s self.

My God these fellows have done more work in one night than I could make my army do in three months.
Mevlana Rumi
God turns you from one feeling to another and teaches by means of opposites, so that you will have two wings to fly, not one.
Andrew Cohen
It is the experience of higher states that can convince even the most hardened cynic that in fact they have seen God. But in order for that glory that has been glimpsed in higher states to become the foundation for an actual level or permanent stage of individual and collective development, an enormous price has to be paid. More often than not, the mistake is made where simply because an individual has experienced a higher state they conclude that they have actually made that leap or transition to a higher stage. And that is rarely the case. Only with dedicated and consistent practice and committed engagement with the enormity of the task at hand can any individual or group actually make this momentous transition.
Aldous Huxley
Happiness is not achieved by the conscious pursuit of happiness; it is generally the byproduct of other activities.
Wallace D. Wattles
Your first duty to God, to yourself, and to the world is to make yourself as great a personality, in every way, as you possibly can.

So long as we believe in our heart of hearts that our capacity is limited and we grow anxious and unhappy, we are lacking in faith. One who truly trusts in God has no right to be anxious about anything.
Paulo Coelho
"I learned the most important lesson of my life: that the extraordinary is not the birthright of a chosen and privileged few, but of all people, even the humblest. That is my one certainty: we are all the manifestation of the divinity of God."
Aldous Huxley
The spiritual journey does not consist in arriving at a new destination where a person gains what he did not have, or becomes what he is not. It consists in the dissipation of one's own ignorance concerning one's self and life, and the gradual growth of that understanding which begins the spiritual awakening. The finding of God is a coming to one's self.
Herman Melville
Silence is the only Voice of our God.
Sivananda
Your sole purpose in life is to attain God-realization. All else is useless and worthless.
